Crossrunner: in-line palletising in layers

Qimarox Crossrunners are an ideal solution for in-line placing of multiple palletisers.
Thanks to the unique design, a single roller conveyor is sufficient to feed pallets
in and out for multiple machines operating in machines.

The products are supplied by means of a feed belt that is placed on left or right
side of the formation location. To do so the machine has a built-in buffer, where
each formed row remains until a layer is complete. By depositing an entire layer
at a time, the Highrunner mk7 needs to make fewer movements. This saves time, increasing
the capacity when compared to other palletising systems.

Pallets pass along the bottom of the unit

Because the pattern-formation conveyor and pallet lift are located even higher,
both empty and full pallets can pass underneath at ground level via the central
roller conveyor.

In other words, in an arrangement with, for example, two Crossrunners next to each
other, a full pallet from the first machine can be carried away under the second
machine while this second machine simply continues palletising. Conversely, it is
possible to transport an empty pallet to the second machine under the first machine
via the roller conveyor without hindering the first machine at all.

Intelligent control software

Qimarox's intelligent control software ensures that the infeed and outfeed of pallets
is carefully coordinated with the movements of the palletisers, so that collisions
can be avoided.

It is even possible to assign different priorities per machine. This prevents the
last palletiser from not being able to get rid of its full pallet because of the
large flow of pallets coming from the other machines.

Compact and accessible

The great advantage of the Crossrunner is its compact set-up. It is no longer necessary
to build an infeed and outfeed conveyor for each palletiser.

An additional advantage is accessibility. The lack of complex roller conveyor constructions,
the palletisers are easily accessible for service and maintenance, even with a forklift
if necessary.
